Honor ideology and religion possess a number of commonalities, yet little research to date has examined whether and how the two relate to each other. Such a relationship is of special interest because despite their commonalities, potential exists for both synergy and conflict between the two ideological systems. Two studies examine associations between honor ideology and religiosity among American Christians. In Study 1, we identified modest associations between facets of honor and various religious orientations. In Study 2, we experimentally induced a “faith/honor conflict” between the prescriptions of each belief system. Results reveal the complex associations between honor and religiosity, showing that these two ideological systems are far from synonymous and can influence adherents in conflicting ways
